PM on Chandrayaan Setback and Encouraging Scientists

At the last second, we fell apart during the Chandrayaan launch.

Everyone sitting there was worried. No one had the courage to tell the Prime Minister.

But I understand technology well, I could see that yes, something was wrong, it wasn't working.

Finally, one of the senior bosses came and told me, “Sir, don't worry.”

I went to the guest house there, but I couldn't sleep.

Then, 30 to 45 minutes later, I called everyone again. I said, “Look, if these people aren't too tired, I want to meet them at 7:00 a.m. because it was a huge setback.

But I wasn't someone who spent their life weeping and wailing over setbacks.

I went in the morning and told all the scientists, “If there was a failure, the responsibility is mine.

You made the effort. Don't be discouraged.”

And whatever I could do to boost their confidence, I woke it up, and Chandrayaan-3 succeeded.
